Mothers Day Weekend

We had a fun filled Mothers Day! My favorite place in the world is the lake and luckily Natalee's a happy girl on the water also. We spent the afternoon on the boat. She was finally back to herself and full of personality after a week of being sick. Unfortunately, I managed to get the cold she had. We just can't stay well in this house.

I think Natalee knew it was Mother's Day. She was extra sweet and cuddly. She also picked up on the fact that I didn't feel well. She is really starting to pick up on how people around her are feeling. When she hears a baby cry she says, "Awww" and starts rocking her arms like she's rocking the baby. I have watched her interact with the kids in her class and she always seems concerned when one of the kids is upset. We are really enjoying watching her personality come out!

Natalee's personality isn't the only thing developing. Lately she has come out with the funniest phrases. Here are a few...

Uncle Lee = " La Le"

Nana = "NiNa"

too tight = " too tie"

Auntie Amy = "Auma MiMi"

Bullseye (from Toy Story) = "Bull Bye"

thank you = "ta ta"

please = "pease"

juice = "duece"

let's go = "let's doe"

where are you = "are you"

cow= "tow" pretty much anything that starts with a "c" comes out with a "t"

All in all we're doing great. If we can all stay well we will be in good shape. We are getting very excited about going to the beach. We are headed to Hilton Head over Memorial Day for a much needed vacation!
